[NL50/100 SH] LifeStyle: Road to NL1k

Welcome to EN scrazy and good luck in your marathon!

200k hands is a lot but I'm sure you can add 50k more from last month!

All the best and look forward to your updates.

Gary

So here's my basic schedule for this month:

9:00 - 10:00 Warmup session
10:15 - 11:15 Session1
11:30 - 12:30 Session2
13:00 - 14:00 Session3
14:00-->analyse
relax
17:30 - 18:30 Session4
18:45 - 19:45 Session5
20:00 - 21:00 Session6
21:30 - 22:30 Session7
22:30-->analyse

if u play 50NL 4 table of ZooM and soon you will add 100NL ,it should be piece of cake to make 60kVpp's.
Gl with your challenge ♠_biggrin:

TY Andytzu24

I'm playing a lot ♦ (i really enjoy it) i will post some proof of volume in the next week. Monthly graph only after 15th

Seems interesting challenge! NL50/NL100 are the stakes I would like to play as soon as possible, playing NL25 at the moment. Good luck!

Today i'm playing a bunch of MTT's But tomorrow going forward with the challenge. Around 15k hands played this month.

Hey how did mtts go?

Hello ♦

I registered around 30+ MTTs yesterday. In the morning in my city they took the current for around 5hours...so i just get busted on those MTTs.

In the afternoon i think i played well. Tried to play a lot of postflop with these guys, but when it came to AIs variance wasn't with me (so like AA < 88 150bb, and so on)
Total profit: -220$.

I think its ok. I can't control the cards (really can't? WTF? :P), and ofc i'm a beginner in MTTs.
So back to the schedule for the rest of the month!

(Edit: Nice hand sir XD)

Had a bad MTT day too so I feel your pain

That's ok HollyMichelle, sorry for u2 having a bad day. But MTT is high variance (poker too :P) so my thinking is just do it and be happy about your decisions or learn from your mistakes and it will be good ♦

I decided i will post here some quick handreviews of bigger pots in daily sessions. So you guys can comment on them, and i can review them if i want in a pretty nice and structured manner.

Today i procrastinated a little...but from tomorrow i keep up the volume and stick to the schedule.

1.hand

Villain is a not to good reg, capable of slowplaying pre (esp in this situation with the short fish). So i decide to just x/f flop i can't really fold out too much combos here (he will not call with small PPs pre cause of the fish..., he maybe will float 2over+BDFD, or he got a pair which is never folding) After turn just go with the hand, i really dont want to x/c, so i think bet is the best option. River is a clear vbet against his range, i don't know if i can maybe use bigger size or its ok...

$0.25/$0.5 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

2.hand

I think its an easy 3barrel with this hands on almost any runouts. He's range is capped after turn x/c to 77+, and some 66(3), 99(3), slowplayed AA/KK(50%->6) + i block AA, so maybe he can call profitably around 12 combos and foldout 77,88,TT,JJ,QQ(50%) -> 27 combos. I think my 3barrel range here is QQ+ + some FD's (AorKhigh). But on this river i don't really have any bluff Maybe i can spike in some 78s

Final Pot: $39.25.

Yep, MTT variance is pretty sick. Would love to comment on your hands but I'm a complete cash game fish ♦

1. hand INTERESTING

Sick hand Villain is x/r around 15%, but my assumption is that he's not x/r TP, so the turn is not so bad card for us? On the river i think he x's with his busted draws and i can bluff him off. Interesting x/push by him. I think i just can fold on the turn most of the time, cause of the sizeings (big flop, smaller turn...suspicious):)

I saw that i have to post proof of hands...so i just post a graph (till breaking my rule). I'm a little bit dissapointed with the volume, but nowadays i got some inner fire to improve my game, and can't stop watchin videos, reading books, analysing hands...so i just try to keep up with the volume(still 5-8 sessions a day), and improve my game when i feel like.

So i'm just thinking about only 2tabling for a while / improve my game. Sadly then it will be a hard rush for supernova

You can reach those Supernova Stars!

Yes, it will be great Thank you for the kind words.
I think i feel a little bit of burnout...i just can't get up early as usually, and when i need to play a lot i just can't do it...:) (maybe cause i'm doing this 8+ hours a day for the last 40days...♦)

Any update for us then scrazy?

2013/11/09

So i just rested a lot this week. Now i think, i feel more better I will try to fill out a spreadsheet like this everyday, so i can track how i waste time, what my weaknesses are, and to fight laziness maybe.

I set up my other computer as a grinding station, cause there i have 2 monitors of 24 inch, and maybe i'm going to play little bit more normal games then zoom, its just more relaxing
I found out, i should enjoy the process not just rush to my goals.
